New Parent Liaison
现任父母有独到的见解和智慧提供给新父母. Liaisons contact new families to offer guidance about the transition to boarding school life and Groton’s unique culture.
Parents are encouraged to be in touch with their child’s advisor on any matter of concern. 你孩子的宿舍负责人也是一个宝贵的资源. Contact information for advisors, dorm heads, and other faculty and staff is in the online directory.
Groton considers this relationship enormously important and tries to match incoming students with adults according to shared interests or the likelihood that student and advisor will have routine contact throughout the week. Each new student is assigned a faculty advisor for the first year; thereafter, 学生可以要求不同的指导老师. Advisor changes for the following year are managed in the spring through the Deans’ Office; students are instructed on the process if they would like a new advisor.
宿舍负责人每周有三个晚上在宿舍值班, and affiliates (other faculty members) cover the dorm on the other three nights. 那四个成年人轮流在星期六晚上值班. When you arrive in September, you will receive a card with the names and phone numbers of your child’s advisor and dorm head, 还有其他重要的数字.
